Topic: Using VMware Fusion to Preview Sites in IE at http://0.0.0.0:3000/

Well I ponied up and bought a license for VMware Fusion and I installed XP so that I could test my sites in IE locally as I develop them.

But when I start my server and go to http://0.0.0.0:3000/ I just get "The page cannot be displayed The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings."

I just wanted to let everybody know what you have to do.

Change the VMware guest's network settings to "NAT"

Open IE on the guest machine and go to http://my.computers.ip.address:3000 and it bingo, it works. (of course replace "my.computers.ip.address" with your host computer's ip address, which can be found in System Preferences >> Networking on a Mac)
